Im sorta still supping the Apple kool aid... Mac and ipad and appleTV etc at home, going on android would be a pain. Hopefully by the time this 12 Mini is obsolete the Linux phones will be practical, I expect this to be the last Apple product I buy - getting close to even going Linux on the imac...
Go Moto. Large enough user base so they do updates, for around $400 get you decent specs. I used to buy high end phones but nowadays there is hardly any difference.
I’ll rephrase it - the price of good smartphones...
They have reached the point of diminishing returns now.
In some wonderful alternate universe, I could have put new RAM in my old 4S and Id still be happily using it...
Probably will after this one. They are still significantly nicer the samsungs though....
I recently got a Samsung A71 since my old phone had overheated and wasn't the phone it used to be.
If my old Sony didn't get all flakey and get stuck in reboot loops then I would have hung onto it too.
Bought an 8 last year when my 5 year old 6S finally kicked the bucket, I find the iPhones tend to last well (allowing for a battery replacement after a few years). I've been hanging out for a smaller format phone again since I had to replace my 5 so similarly tempted by the 12 Mini, but will wait a year. The whole phablet thing is a nightmare, who wants a phone that doesn't fit in a pocket or allow comfortable one-handed use?
5+ years? Good effort. I got almost 4 years out of my S6 but it was a infuriatingly dribbling heap of battery discharging incontinence by the end. How'd you get so long out of yours?
I'm not going to ask why you need to use a phone one handed.....
The same reason they’re water proof now.
My 4S was in service for over 7 years, original battery. Apple stuff sometimes works out not so expensive given their lifespans.
I got 6 from my 6S till I crashed on it and drowned in simultaneously.
I've got a... 5S (maybe) as my work phone but just not a fan. It's such a counterintuitive pos of an operating system if you're used to Android.
Mrs George has been steadfast Samsung for at least 8 years. It's only been her S10 that I've started to consider them stable.
Tech21 case with a glass screen protector... to be fair battery was replaced but it was an S4 so removable battery.
Lies! The zoom on that phone's camera isn't very good. He will never be able to send quality dick pics.
